Stinging-insect service begins with identification and the nest location. An exposed paper-wasp nest beneath a reachable eave presents a different access problem from insects entering a wall cavity, soffit, or ground opening. Describe the flight path from a distance and avoid disturbing the nest to expose it. Bugged assesses whether treatment, removal, further investigation, or a specialist referral fits the finding. Bees require separate identification and may need a beekeeper or other appropriate specialist. Height, concealed construction, repairs, and access can change the estimate. HiveGuard includes accessible wasp-nest assessment under the written agreement; additional work is confirmed in its own scope before service. - Repeated flight to one opening in siding, roofing, soil, or a utility box - An exposed paper comb, enclosed gray aerial nest, or concentrated ground traffic - A temporary cluster or swarm of bees resting on a branch or structure [Read the sourced field guide](https://buggedpest.com/pest-library/wasps-hornets-yellowjackets) ![An active Texas paper-wasp comb beneath the beam of a limestone-and-stucco loggia](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/luxury/wasps-01-paper-wasp-loggia-nest-768.webp) Paper wasp nestLimestone loggia ![A bald-faced hornet nest on a live-oak branch above a Hill Country pool landscape](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/luxury/wasps-03-hornet-nest-infinity-pool-320.webp) Bald-faced hornet nestLive oak above pool ![Southern yellowjacket workers entering a concealed ground nest beside limestone edging](https://buggedpest.com/media/pests/standard/hornets-01-southern-yellowjacket-ground-nest-320.webp) Yellowjacket ground nestLawn and limestone edge Inspection first ## How does Bugged assess a nest? Every visit starts with the property, not the product. This is what the technician checks before recommending anything. - Checked 01 Insect type, flight path, nest construction, entry opening, and height - Checked 02 Occupied areas, access constraints, allergy concerns, and risk of opening a void Inspection to treatment ## How do you remove a wasp or hornet nest? Treatment selection follows the inspection, the written scope, and the applicable product label. Step 01 ### Inspect the evidence Identify bees separately from social wasps, hornet-type wasps, yellowjackets, and solitary look-alikes Step 02 ### Treat to the finding Define whether removal, treatment, exclusion, or a bee specialist is appropriate Step 03 ### Document and follow through Close an entry only after nest activity has been resolved so insects are not redirected indoors Scope before promises. Bee relocation, removal inside structural voids, repairs, and work requiring specialized height access are not assumed. Availability is confirmed after identification and site assessment. ### Before Bugged arrives - Keep people and pets away from the flight path - Do not plug an active wall opening or strike the nest - Photograph from a safe distance and note the time of strongest activity What it costs ## How much does wasp nest removal cost in Austin? Accessible wasp-nest assessment is included in HiveGuard, subject to your written agreement. Nests inside a wall void, high on a roofline, or anywhere that needs equipment to reach safely are quoted separately after the assessment. Honey bee colonies are referred to a beekeeper rather than treated, at no charge. The initial-service fee is confirmed in your written quote. Payment authorization is collected at signup; the initial-service fee and first monthly payment are charged after initial service completion, plus applicable tax.

Straight answers. If yours is not here, [call (737) 247-7143](tel:+17372477143) or [text us](sms:+17372477143) and ask a human. ### Are visible and concealed nests handled the same way? No. An exposed nest under an accessible eave presents a different inspection and access problem from activity entering a wall void or the ground. The technician confirms the location and scope before recommending work. ### Does the estimate cover every nest height or location? Height, access, nesting location, and site conditions can change the estimate. Describe where insects enter and include that concern in your request; do not disturb the nest to make it easier to inspect. ### Can I seal the hole insects are using? Not while a colony is active. Blocking the visible opening can redirect insects into the building or force a new exit. Identification and nest resolution come first. ### Do you relocate honey bees? Relocation and structural hive removal require specific capability and access. The initial assessment identifies the insect and route, then confirms whether Bugged or a specialist can perform the work.
